Chapter Thirteen The Familiar Light
Life seems to have returned to its normal state, calm, without surprises or sadness.
But since Qin Ze discovered that Gu Zhen handled some details very well, he gradually let go of his guard against Gu Zhen.
Or in other words, more accurately, because Gu Zhen gave Qin Ze a familiar feeling.
"It's not possible to do this. You should carefully look for a pattern first. There are rules for playing Rubik's Cube, and you don't rely on luck."
Gu Zhen sat on the sofa with the cut fruit. He looked down and saw Qin Beichen playing with the Rubik's Cube attentively, and reminded him with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Qin Beichen was a little confused, and looked up at Gu Zhen innocently, looking silly.
Unable to help but rub Qin Beichen's head, Gu Zhen said with a gentle smile, "Yes, this is a rule. How about I teach you a lesson?"
Gu Zhen asked tentatively, but the answer he got was yes.
"good."
Qin Beichen nodded obediently. His face, which was originally fair and tender, now looked so soft and tender that people couldn't help but want to pinch it.
"If you look at it, there is actually a pattern. If this red square is here and other red squares are distributed in other places, you have to find the side with the most first, and then..."
Gu Zhen's mouth went dry when he said the last thing, so he managed to finish.
Originally, he just wanted Qin Beichen to understand that there was a pattern, but as soon as Gu Zhen finished speaking, Qin Beichen started to do it himself.
In the time it took to drink some water, the Rubik's Cube had already recovered half of its size.
Gu was really surprised by Qin Beichen's talent. Within a minute, the Rubik's Cube was perfectly restored.
"Is this how it is?"
Holding up the Rubik's Cube with his chubby little hands, Qin Beichen tilted his head and asked cutely.
"Yes, that's what it looks like."
Unable to hold it back, Gu Zhen rubbed Qin Beichen's head, maybe because they had been together for a long time, or maybe because Qin Beichen had also put down his guard against Gu Zhen.
When Gu Zhen made some intimate moves, Qin Beichen would even obediently remain motionless and look at Gu Zhen with his big, watery eyes, which made people's hearts melt.
At night, the three of them sat at the same table to eat like an ordinary family of three.
Except that the table was a little deserted, everything else was incredibly beautiful.
Late at night, Gu Zhen was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"How long will this kind of life last? It's impossible to stay like this for the rest of your life. You can only exist as a nanny."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Zhen felt helpless inside.
"But what can be done? That's the only way, isn't it?"
Gu Zhen tossed and turned and muttered to himself. He lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he had no choice but to go downstairs in his pajamas and heat up a glass of milk for himself.
Then according to the habit from a long time ago, I went to the rooftop with a cup of steaming milk.
"Phew, everything is going to be fine, right?"
Gu Zhen drank the milk in small sips and looked at the starry sky expectantly, as if making a wish.
"If, if these things didn't happen, I should be extremely happy now. At least I wouldn't be like now, where my child is obviously my own, but I can only take care of it as a nanny."
Taking a deep breath, a trace of sadness flashed between Gu Zhen's eyebrows.
"When will it end? Or, when will everything come to an end?"
Just when Gu Zhen was in a daze, Qin Ze walked up quietly, looked at Gu Zhen standing next to the rooftop, and frowned subconsciously.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Ze spoke coldly, and the cold night wind made Gu Zhen shiver with fear.
Quickly turning around, Gu Zhen lowered his voice and said calmly, "I can't sleep, so I came up to enjoy the wind and take a look at the beautiful night."
With a decent answer, Qin Ze nodded, without asking any more questions, strode to Gu Zhen's side, and also stood next to the rooftop.
The distance between the two was so close that Gu Zhen began to wonder if it was back to the way it was before they were separated. At that time, the two were so close, standing on the rooftop looking at the Milky Way, cuddling together and talking sweetly
love words.
Gu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "You couldn't sleep either, so why did you come to the rooftop?"
"no."
Qin Ze opened his mouth to answer, his tone of voice was calm but inexplicably filled with sadness.
"Then, what's the reason for that?"
He had a bold guess in his heart, but Gu Zhen was not sure and asked cautiously.
"My wife used to like to come to the rooftop to watch the stars and the moon."
One simple sentence explained everything in an instant.
Yes, why do you want to come to the rooftop? It’s because my wife likes to come to the rooftop to watch the stars and the moon, so even if she’s gone, she’s still used to it.
"Um."
With his eyes burning, Gu Zhen nodded and whispered.
"I also really like the stars and the moon. Whenever I look at them, I feel a lot calmer inside. It's like I calm down all of a sudden and everything will become beautiful."
Gu Zhen was talking to himself, speaking every word very slowly.
As if chatting, Qin Ze also said, "Yes, everything will be fine."
Qin Ze firmly believes that sooner or later, his lover will come back!
"Yes, everything is the best arrangement, isn't it?"
Gu Zhen frowned and smiled, looking up at the stars in the sky, his eyes lit up.
Seemingly surprised by Gu Zhen's words, Qin Ze turned his head and glanced at Gu Zhen, and happened to see the glint in Gu Zhen's eyes.
It was so familiar, so familiar that Qin Ze thought he had seen his long-lost lover.
Attracted by the light in Gu Zhen's eyes, he couldn't help but step forward and even wanted to reach out, but in the end, the only trace of reason stopped Qin Ze.
"Well, go to bed early."
Said in a hurry, Qin Ze went downstairs with panic steps, extremely hasty.
"So everything is the best arrangement, isn't it? Everything will develop in a good direction. After all, the most difficult days have passed, and the future will only get better day by day, right?"
Gu Zhen arched his eyebrows and smiled, as if thinking of the happy and sweet times with Qin Ze in the past, a warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After returning to the room, all that came to Qin Ze's mind were Gu Zhen's unfamiliar profile and the familiar starlight in his eyes. The tiny starlight seemed to be scattered throughout his eyes, making waves.
"Maybe, it just happens to be similar."
